see also http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2003/05/22/testing.html for a kinder, gentler introduction that leaves many of the more gory (but cool and important) details out :) > > Stealing tests from other projects is often suggested. The mod perl 2 > test suite is a good place to look. yes, as is the t/ directory of the perl-framework: http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/httpd/test/trunk/perl-framework/t/ I have yet to find some aspect of apache that I needed to test that wasn't in there. > Can anyone suggest any other Apache modules that might have a rich testing > suite from which to steal testing ideas? most of my more recent apache-based modules on cpan use Apache-Test http://search.cpan.org/~geoff/ Apache-SSLLookup is kinda interesting as it combines both client and server-side tests (or unit tests and function tests if you want to look at it that way) - it unit tests the API from the server side but includes client-side function tests to make sure that the API, when implemented, does what it is supposed to. Apache-Clean and Apache-IncludeHook have some interesting uses of t_write_perl_script() and t_write_file() that might be helpful as well. you can also check out the code from a tutorial I gave at ApacheCon 2004 http://www.modperlcookbook.org/~geoff/slides/ApacheCon/2004/test-driven-development-code.tar.gz I know Jim was present for the tutorial, but just in case others weren't, there is some interesting stuff in there if you want to use Apache-Test to test Apache C extension modules. there is also http://www.modperlcookbook.org/~geoff/slides/ApacheCon/2004/testing-php-with-perl-code.tar.gz for those perl folks who are forced to use php ;) > > Also, a few weeks ago Stas mentioned an Apache::Test mailing list, > [EMAIL PROTECTED] I joined that list and tried to post a > question, but it didn't post. Anyone know if that list is working? it's [EMAIL PROTECTED] and should be ok. --Geoff
